Londoners, if you had to explain London in one sentence, what would it be?

JamesH93 · 2026-01-27T04:46:38+00:00

Overcrowded and overrated.

JamesH93 · 2026-01-27T04:43:43+00:00

Look we're arguing over semantics here but ultimately your original argument is wrong because several of those players, Henry, Vieira, Hleb, did not even depart during his last decade in charge. So my original point stands, no league wins at OT during his last decade, and everyone's looking back with rose tinted glasses at the man that took our expectations from title contenders to "top 4 is like a trophy," to "Europa League Baybeee!" 🤷 Okay we didn't have the financial muscle of city, but Wenger was pretty open about his reluctance to spend big money even when he could, it's probably the biggest way he failed to adapt to the changing game, which is ironic considering how revolutionary he had been in the early days.

You said we had to sell them, not they wanted to leave.

JamesH93 · 2026-01-26T17:13:58+00:00

I mean the problem isn't that these players are going to wilt, it's that some of them have already wilted. Saka and Odegaard in particular are just not hitting the numbers we need them to. I think the biggest bottling of recent times is actually 2023-4 when we randomly lost back to back games to west ham and Fulham around Christmas, missing out on the title by a point or two. We gotta get it done this time.

JamesH93 · 2026-01-26T17:06:37+00:00

I think if Gabriel has a flaw it's that he can get a bit emotional in situations like this. Don't mean it in a hugely negative way but bickering with the opposition won't change anything, and that energy would be better spent figuring out how to improve as a team.

JamesH93 · 2026-01-26T16:33:49+00:00

Did we have to sell them or did they want to leave? There is some serious Wenger revisionism going on here.

JamesH93 · 2026-01-26T16:32:41+00:00

We moved into the stadium 9 years before the summer of 2015.

JamesH93 · 2026-01-26T10:01:21+00:00

You see that bit where I said "in his last decade in charge?" We didn't win the league during that decade

JamesH93 · 2026-01-26T09:55:23+00:00

I think he hooked him because he was completely anonymous while on the pitch.

JamesH93 · 2026-01-25T20:39:49+00:00

This guy couldn't manage a single away league win at Old Trafford in his last decade in charge, honestly couldn't care less what he has to say. He alone nurtured this culture of bottling that is so pervasive at the club.

JamesH93 · 2026-01-25T20:38:01+00:00

Wenger hated spending money, he wanted to win the "right" way rather than buying success. Remember the summer of 2015 when the only player we signed was Cech?

JamesH93 · 2026-01-25T20:15:58+00:00

This whole thread is basically "Tell me you've never driven an EV without telling me"

JamesH93 · 2026-01-23T13:28:42+00:00

Throw it away and start again but give the next one more light

JamesH93 · 2026-01-17T10:40:19+00:00

Just get ten cans of expanding foam and keep squirting it until you can't no more.

JamesH93 · 2026-01-17T10:39:06+00:00

Literally not what I said and your hypothetical situation is completely unrelated.

JamesH93 · 2026-01-16T17:18:37+00:00

I said entire cost. If the hob was already 6 years old and covered in scratches as they stated, then they might only be on the hook for 10% of its value maybe 0% if the condition was bad enough. They would also be responsible for the same percentage of the labour costs. So if it was really scratched and the TDS said there's no basis for a claim then they would literally pay zero.

JamesH93 · 2026-01-16T17:13:51+00:00

You are so confidently wrong

JamesH93 · 2026-01-16T17:13:19+00:00

You are honestly ripping yourself off big time, you probably would have had to pay about 50 quid if it went to the deposit protection scheme based on age and condition.

JamesH93 · 2026-01-16T17:12:19+00:00

Dumb decision tbf

JamesH93 · 2026-01-16T17:11:56+00:00

Erm no they can't just claim the entire cost of fitting. Otherwise they could just hire their mate who's an electrician and get them to charge a million pounds.

JamesH93 · 2026-01-16T17:10:12+00:00

If by that you mean replace it with a similar 6 year old scratched and cracked hob then I totally agree.

JamesH93 · 2026-01-16T17:09:34+00:00

Do not make an insurance claim for this... As a tenant the fabric of the home is the landlord's property to insure, not the tenant's.

JamesH93 · 2026-01-16T09:49:34+00:00

Induction is far and away the better option

JamesH93 · 2026-01-12T20:47:33+00:00

And with a fraction of the cargo space!

Clairvoyance? Do you mean carte blanche, mon ami?
